[Bioperl-l] tree copy by-value

[Stephen Montgomery]

my $tree_copy = $tree;  #copies by reference a Bio::Tree::Tree object

as an example, a method like
my $tree_copy = $tree->clone; #copies by value (this method doesn't
exist) or
my $tree_copy = Storable::dclone($tree); 

Cheers,
Stephen

What do you mean? Describe in a little more detail what you're trying to
do.
